If you are a master’s student or faculty advisor/research supervisor looking to plan a master’s project or paper for review, please use the following material for guidance. First, review the Master’s Project/Major Paper Handbook, which describes each step in the review process, and then prepare a plan of action using the below resources.

Forms

Project forms must be initiated by the graduate program office. Please contact the graduate program office in your faculty for assistance with the forms.

  • Research Progress Reports are sent out to students each term. The student will first complete their section of the report, after which the supervisor(s) will receive the report for completion. The student will then have the opportunity to review and sign. For questions related to this process, please contact gradthesis@ontariotechu.ca.
